Life has transformed its home planet in diverse ways; cyanobacteria created the air we breathe, microbes form fertile soil, and large herbivores shape grasslands. Everything is interconnected; life is not just residing on the planet but an extension of it, reflecting Earth's matter animated.
The Gaia hypothesis, proposed by James Lovelock, highlighted how life impacts the planet, contrary to the scientific belief that evolution was solely environmental-driven. Today, it's acknowledged that life has significantly shaped Earth's landscapes and ecosystems.
